ARIZONA – The Arizona GOP Senate primary is already on a “collision course” and the potential frontrunners, losers Kari Lake and Blake Masters, haven’t even entered the race yet, per 12News NBC’s Sunday Square Off. 

WATCH: 

“‘Losing energy,’ ‘paranoid,’ ‘erratic,’ like ‘drunk people call[ing] their exes,’ – all ways Republicans are describing their own nightmare Arizona Senate primary candidates,” said Olivia Taylor-Puckett, Senior Communications Advisor at the Arizona Democratic Party. 

 

Here’s what host Brahm Resnik, Republican activist Tyler Montague, and Democratic consultant Stacy Pearson had to say:

 

Resnik: What’s going on in the Republican primary for the US Senate? Daily Beast reported last week on a bizarre phone call between Kari Lake, loser of 2022 governor’s race, and Blake Masters, loser of the 2022 Senate race. 

 

Resnik: The call was described as ‘intense,’ ‘paranoid,’ ‘erratic’ on both sides it seems. Are these two on a collision course in that primary? Could they both run or maybe neither of them will run?

 

Montague: All that can happen, I think if they both run, I think Kari Lake has more uh, name recognition and would probably win that primary, but she has losing energy. People don’t vote ‘no’ on somebody and then vote ‘yes.’ I think she can win the primary and lose the general. 

 

Montague: And it’s weird that she would call Saturday night at 11 o’clock– that’s when drunk people call their exes. 

 

Resnik: That’s when she reportedly, she called– 

 

Montague: That’s when she called Blake Masters–

 

Resnik: Nothing good happens on Saturday night at 11 pm.

 

Montague: That’s right. So I don’t know how that’s going to shake out, it’s weird when Sheriff Lamb is kind of the sane guy in the race but I don’t, I don’t know uh, how that’s going to work. 

 

Resnik: Is this a dream for the Democrats?

 

Pearson: Oh It’s fabulous.
